Adjunct faculty are joining the
global
day of action on Tuesday, Novembe
r 10
in support of the Fight for $15. Strikes and demonstrations will take place in 270 cities. In Hartford, there will be a march starting at 3:45pm at the McDonald's at 170 Washington Street and ending at the Legislative Office Building.
Following the march,
Connecticut's
new, low-wage worker advisory panel will hear testimony from the public. The Wage Board
will advise agencies on issues facing low-wage employees. The board's listed tasks include recommending minimum wage rates needed for an "economically stable living standard" in Connecticut.
To find out additional information about our November 10 action, please contact Greg Jackson at greg@the4cs.org.
This is also a great opportunity to write letters to the editor to inform your community about the need for a living wage for adjunct faculty! Contact the
4Cs office for some talking points if you are interested.
